Li Dare knew that he could not face the battle at this time, and besides, he had come to relieve the siege, and once he was entangled by this group of officers and troops, he would not be able to get to the place where Zhang Xianzhong was trapped. [No pop-ups. 】

Li Dare ordered the troops not to move, and let Qin Yiming toss and scold there. He meant to stay until dark, and then throw off the army. With both sides roughly equal, it takes a surprise to win.

Qin Yiming scolded for a while at the bottom of the slope, Qin Jun did not have a single person, Qin Yiming was hot-tempered, and he couldn't help jumping like thunder, and ordered a deputy general to lead the men and horses to rush upward.

The deputy general took two thousand cavalry and rushed to the hillside, but the slope of the hill was steep, and when the war horse rushed halfway, there was no speed, and it would be difficult to rush upward, so the deputy general had to lead the men and horses to retreat again, and returned to Qin Yiming's side with a sad face: "Pioneer officer, you can't rush up." ”

Qin Yiming suppressed his anger, he knew that the Qin army had occupied a favorable terrain, and if he rushed upwards again, he was likely to be counterattacked by the Qin army, but fortunately, Qin Liangyu's order to himself was to entangle this Qin army, and he didn't say that he had to annihilate it, so he bit it, and said hatefully: "Ignore him first, retreat five hundred steps, dismount and rest, the Qin army will not move, we will not move, and it will be consumed with him." ”

After saying that, he led the men and horses to retreat, ran a few hundred steps, stopped moving, and the officers and soldiers dismounted and rested one after another, some led the horses to graze, some opened the water bags, and some ate dry food.

Li Dang saw this, and smiled at Li Dingguo: "The official army is consumed with us." They can afford it, but we can't. After dark, you have to fight your way into the village. ”

Li Dingguo was eager to try: "If I take the lead, I will definitely be able to break through this official army." ”

Li Dang nodded: "We are here to relieve the siege, don't fall in love, you take a thousand people in front, and I will break the back." Let's rush to the southwest together. Li Dingguo said: "The officers and soldiers will definitely come to stop it, and it is impossible not to fight this battle." ”

Li dared to say: "If you want to fight, you won't fight here, you will rush over in the oblique stab and lead the officers and soldiers to the village, as long as you get there, my righteous brother will hear the sound of killing, and he will inevitably join the inside and outside." ”

Li Dingguo said: "Okay, just do it." ”

So the men and horses of both sides did not move, and they confronted each other from a distance, waiting for the sun to set and the night to fall.

Seeing that the sun was sinking in the west, the afterglow was slowly dissipating, the evening breeze was blowing, bringing some coolness, and the battlefield was very quiet, except for the occasional sound of a horse or two, which quickly disappeared into the mountains.

After a short while, the sky was completely dark, there were no stars and no moon tonight, the clouds were dense, but the evening breeze gradually became stronger, Li Dang looked at the four fields, it was already pitch black, so he ordered his soldiers to light torches.

Li Dingguo hurriedly said: "Uncle Li, you can't light a torch, we have to rush out, the officers and soldiers will inevitably chase after us, if you light a torch, isn't it convenient for others." Li Dare smiled and said: "Look at it, I have my own opinions, and when you rush out in a while, you will be so ......."

He gave some orders, Li Dingguo nodded again and again, Li Dare ordered everyone in the Qin army to light torches, and thousands of torches were lit, like stars in the night sky, flickering in the evening breeze, making a fierce sound.

Looking at the opposite side, the officers and soldiers also lit torches, Li Dare smiled, and ordered Li Dingguo: "Dingguo's nephew, attack." ”

Li Dingguo was already ready, just waiting for this order, so he stepped on his horse, waved the spear in his hand, and led a thousand cavalry, galloped down the high slope, and rushed towards the southwest.

Li Dang led the whole army in the back, followed by Li Dingguo, and thousands of torches formed a fire dragon, which looked extremely spectacular in the dark night.

As soon as Qin Yiming saw that the Qin army had taken the road and left, he knew that they were going to the village where Zhang Xianzhong was trapped, where he was willing to let go, so he hurriedly got on his horse and led the army to outflank the Qin army.

Li Dingguo according to Li Dang's instructions in advance, urged the war horse, galloped with all his strength, but the Qin army was a detour, and the official army was chasing in a straight line, so the two sides were getting closer and closer, Li Dingguo ran while looking sideways at the front of the official army, and when the two armies were only one hundred and ten paces apart, Li Dingguo suddenly took the men and horses to one side and rushed towards the official army.

He led his troops to meet the official army, but Li Kang did not join, but continued to run in the direction from which he came with 3,000 cavalry. The two sides were almost divided.

Li Dingguo had already made up his mind in his heart, and according to Li Kang's orders, he would definitely be able to get rid of this official army, so he didn't speak, held an iron spear, and took the lead in killing the official army.

A thousand cavalry of the Qin army followed, raising swords and guns at the same time, and the two sides killed together.

Qin Yiming did not show weakness, and when he saw that a small group of Qin troops had been killed, he sneered, secretly thinking that with such a few men and horses, how could he stop me from beating five thousand cavalry. Annihilate this Qin army first, and then follow the pursuit, and you will win a big victory.

Therefore, Qin Yiming ordered 5,000 officers and troops to surround and surround Li Dingguo, the 1,000 Qin army.

At this moment, Li Dang led three thousand Qin cavalry and had already run out of more than half a mile.

Li dared to look back, the officers and soldiers did not chase after him, but besieged Li Dingguo with all his might, he smiled slightly, and ordered all the soldiers of the Qin army to extinguish all the torches in their hands.

The three thousand Qin troops extinguished the torches in their hands at the same time, and immediately the whole army was drowned in the night, and they could no longer be seen from a distance. Li Dang led the 3,000 Qin troops and rushed towards the place where Zhang Xianzhong was trapped.

Qin Yiming is not an idle generation, he commanded the men and horses to besiege Li Dingguo, while looking sideways at Li Dang in the distance, just looked for a while, and suddenly found that the torches raised by the Qin army were all extinguished, and there was no trace in the dark night, and he couldn't help but be surprised, so dark night, the Qin army was all black, and they walked in the dark, how to pursue.

As soon as he was in a hurry, he understood Li Kang's plan to get out, using Li Dingguo as a partial teacher, restraining his own people, and then leading the main force to get rid of himself in the dark night.

Qin Yiming shouted that he was deceived, at this time he could no longer fight with Li Dingguo, and hurriedly ordered to rush to the death to annihilate Li Dingguo's thousand Qin troops in the shortest possible time.

But Li Dingguo was ready, he was fighting, while looking in the direction of Li Kang's main force, as soon as he saw Li Kang's men and horses extinguished the torches, he immediately ordered the whole army to break through, he held an iron gun in his hand, and rushed in front of the battle, although there were torches in the night, but after all, it could not shine much light, Li Dingguo was in the official army array, like a mad tiger, and like a night demon, rushing forward, no one could catch his shot.

In the blink of an eye, Li Dingguo led the remaining more than 800 Qin troops under his command to break out of the encirclement. Rushed to Zhang Xianzhong from the other direction.

Qin Yiming was so angry that he screamed, at this time he could only chase Li Kang's main force, but Li Dang led the men and horses to leave at night, and he didn't know which way to go, so he lit a torch behind him to chase after him, in case he was ambushed by others, it was hard to say. The only way at the moment is to go directly back to Qin Liangyu's camp, because no matter which way Li Dare goes, the ultimate goal is to relieve the siege of Zhang Xianzhong.

Thinking of this, Qin Yiming packed up his men and horses and rushed back to the camp.

Besides, Li Dang, taking people and horses to walk in the dark, this is also extremely risky, in case people and horses don't know the road, or fall into a ravine, it will really be a joke. Fortunately, he brought the peasant army soldiers who broke out with Li Dingguo, and these people were quite familiar with this place, so he led Li Kang and his party to quickly approach Qin Liangyu's camp.

After running for more than ten miles, I saw countless lights in the distance.

Li Dang ordered the whole army to take a rest, straighten out the horses and equipment, and prepare for the battle, this battle is not a confrontation battle, but a battle to be completed. won the war, rescued Zhang Xianzhong, turned around and captured Chongqing, and if he lost, he probably wouldn't even be able to go back to Hanzhong.

Therefore, Li Dare gritted his teeth and was ruthless.

His men and horses rested for half an hour, and suddenly saw a fire dragon coming not far away, heading towards the official army camp, Li dared to estimate that this should be the official cavalry that had just blocked him, and they couldn't catch up with him, so he returned to the camp to give orders.

Li Dang's heart moved, and he secretly thought why not take advantage of this chaotic moment to rush into the official army camp. So he stared closely at the army of the official army, and when he saw that about half of the people who had entered the camp, Li Dang waved his hand and gave the order to attack.

The cavalry of the three thousand Qin army began to start, following the rear team of the official army, at this time the officers and soldiers were marching towards the camp, and they did not expect that people and horses would suddenly appear behind them, and Li Kang's cavalry did not have torches, only heard the sound of horses' hooves, and could not see the figure, and when they saw it, the Qin army was about to pounce in front of them.

At this time, Qin Yiming and other generals had already entered the camp, and there was no one to lead the rear army, and when they saw the Qin army rushing forward, they immediately panicked and shouted: "The enemy soldiers are coming, the enemy soldiers are coming......

Some of the officers and soldiers turned back to resist, while more people ran towards the camp, because they didn't know how many men and horses the Qin army came, so there was chaos inside and outside the camp gate.

Li Dang led the Qin cavalry to the camp gate like a gust of wind, rushing inward, the officers and soldiers were putting their own men and horses into the camp, so the gate was wide open, and there were not many guards, and they were dizzy by the sudden attack of the Qin army, and they forgot to close the gate, and at this time their own men and horses were also at the camp gate, where could they close.

The Qin army was like a sharp sword, stabbing straight in.

Li Dare ordered his soldiers to shoot four rockets into the air, this is the signal agreed in advance between Li Dingguo and Zhang Xianzhong, Zhang Xianzhong should have heard the chaos of the official army camp, and when he saw these four rockets again, he must know that it was the Qin army who came to relieve the siege.

Therefore, in the dark night sky, four rockets flew at once.

Zhang Xianzhong has been discussing the military situation with Tang Sai'er for several days, although the official army is not attacking at the moment, it can be imagined that Qin Liangyu is waiting for his food and grass to run out, and then break through, the official and military barriers at this time must be very strong, and if you want to rush out, you need to pay huge casualties. Therefore, their hope is on Li Dingguo, as long as he can see Li Kang, he will definitely be able to ask for help.

Therefore, although the peasant army was trapped, its morale was not low.
